eewww...

imagine yourself walking around your front yard.
you're admiring the flowerbeds, freshly mowed lawn, and manicured trees.
you're thinking how nice everything looks.

you back up to take in the entire view.
while walking backwards you barely avoid bumping into a tree,
and your head is only inches away from the trunk.
that's when you see...

a disgusting collection of discarded cicada skins!

a close up.

i was a lot closer than this when i first saw them.

I just mentioned to Kyle yesterday "I don't remember hearing the cicadas last year" which was when he educated me that they have a three year (we think) cycle. . . . remember junebugs? Those and cicadas make the worst crunches when you step on them. . . .. ewwwwwwwww
